Solution

To automatically log in to Windows with a user’s credentials, please follow the these instructions:

  1. Press "Windows Start" + R.
  2. Type "control userpasswords2" and press Enter.


Security note: If UAC is enabled, then you’ll get a UAC prompt on screen. Please specify
credentials or permission to pass the UAC elevation.


  1. Select your account from the list.
  2. Uncheck the "Users must enter a user name and password to use this computer. "
  3. Click Apply and a dialog will appear (See Figure A below).
